Crash injures two

Two men were seriously injured and one of them was arrested on a third drunken-driving offense in a two-vehicle crash on Millbrook Street Wednesday afternoon.

Police said a 1996 Jeep Cherokee collided with a 2003 Toyota Camry around 12:30 in the area of 157 Millbrook St. The Jeep flipped and came to a rest on its passenger side. The Camry had extensive front-end damage. Both drivers were seriously injured and trapped in their vehicles, police said.

Firefighters removed the trapped drivers, and they were taken by ambulance to local hospitals. Police said a preliminary investigation indicated the Jeep was traveling in the opposite direction of the Toyota on Millbrook Street. As the Toyota approached the curve by Merton Street, the Jeep crossed the center line and struck the Toyota head-on.

Police said witnesses reported the Jeep appeared to be speeding.

The driver of the Jeep, a 66-year-old man police did not identify, suffered back and leg injuries and was in serious but stable condition. He was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol (third offense), driving under the influence of alcohol and causing serious bodily injury, driving to endanger, speeding, and failure to stay within marked lanes. Police said he would be identified when his booking is complete at the police station.

Police also did not identify the driver of the Toyota, a 60-year-old city man who suffered a severe leg injury and head trauma. He was listed in serious but stable condition, police said.
